jebm Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'm stumped! This queen size quilt is beautifully made, customer wants custom quilting--design in light areas and a design in dark areas--but all of it needs to be quilted--but no pantos etc...or overall design. I've looked for pics on the chat and in webshots--and missed anything I should have seen--looked through all my "idea" books--I think it's so pretty I'm scared! Any suggestions will be taken to heart! Thanks--to the best chatters anywhere! Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyrw Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Very pretty quilt. I think I would do some kind of wreath in the light areas. Maybe not a feathered wreath but something more leafy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspingler Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 What a beautiful Buzzsaw!! There are some pretty awesome pics in webshots if you take a peek there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lib Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi Jane. I did a quilt for a customer very like yours and I used my Circle Lord? Do you have the circle lord? It does depend, however, on how large each area is. On my quilt I used the Ginko template. Lib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Wow that is a beauty!!! I kind of think along that same lines as Holly, perhaps a ferny feather in the light areas and not too sure about the darker areas, but I know you will get some wonderful ideas from our talented family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrna Ficken Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Circles would look awesome.... clean and simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 it also would look good with an in and out circle across the whole thing..or just in the center and then something in the outside borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebm Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Bonnie--what's an in and out circle? I don't have a circle lord--I have a Hartley Fence though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hmmmmm....bummer you can free hand them, but that would be tough. I have the R & S boards similar to CL, but way cheaper....four of them does a queen sized quilt. http://www.rns-design.com/LongArmPage1.htm scroll down its the Dual Spiral In and Out.

IBQLTN2 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 beautiful quilt for sure. I too would do something really soft and feathery in the light area and maybe something easier in the dark area as it won't show quite as much. Lib did you have any pictures of the one you did with the Ginko template to show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraC Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I agree with circles. Another circular idea that looks great. Do you have any of Kim Diehl's books. She does a lot of what I call "cinnamon buns"! It's done freehand and is quick and easy. You spiral a circle from the outside in, then just sew out to do the next one. Make them different sizes. I would look good on this quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi Jane - I did one similar to this, it didn't have the little pinwheels inside the light colored areas though. (Someplace I have the pattern - it's on my to-do list!!) I did a feathered wreath in the light areas, tiny tight meander in the center, and I would spirl out from the feather wreath now and then to hit into those outer areas. My customers quilt was much darker though, Kansas Trouble fabrics..... so she just wanted a meander in the darker fabrics. Looked really nice and went quick. I piano-keyed the inner little border and meander the outer. You could do this too, and just SID around the pinwheels and have that be the center of your wreath. Good Luck and I hope it all goes well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
